New Cast Confirmed for Marvel/Netflix’s LUKE CAGE

Luke Cage, the third series from the partnership of Netflix and Marvel Television is quickly filling its cast — led by Mike Colter as Luke “Power Man” Cage — with the addition of Mahershala Ali as Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes, one of Power Man’s first villains in the Marvel Comics series.

The live-action version of Cottonmouth is described as “a Harlem nightclub owner, [who] will become an unexpected foe in Luke’s life when Stokes’ criminal activities threaten Luke’s world.”
Ali joins the previously announced supporting cast that includes:

Simone Missick as Misty Knight, a detective in the New York Police Department who investigates Luke. In the comics, she has a bionic arm, so it will be interesting to see if the show tells the story of how she acquires it, or if she already has it when the series begins.
